Being a runner isn’t easy as it seems to be. Nearly every second, runners complain about orthopedic problems at the time of running. Without your knees supporting you, you cannot just imagine running. Knee acts as shock absorbers, mitigating the impact with ground. These absorbers convert the forces into energy so as to provide stability to your knees. Knees don’t wear out prematurely as such but the knee pain generally starts when bones, muscles, ligaments, menisci, patella and tendons move out of whack.

In case of runners’ knee, the pain is caused due to overuse of tendons located on the outside of knee. The illotibial (IT) band, a thick and hard strip of fascia rubs against the outer edge of femur that leads to severe knee pain. Asthijivak is an ayurvedic remedy that is highly helpful in this problem. Blended with rare natural ingredients, Asthijivak oil and paste is one of the best herbal knee pain relief solutions.
